[…] Buenos Aires – A few months ago I wrote about a delivery only sushi service called Furusato that came highly recommended from several local friends. I liked it quite a bit and have used the service again. It takes a bit of time to recieve the delivery, but it arrives absolutely fresh, and the combinations are quite good, with several offerings that include more than just the usual salmón or salmón y blanco – things like shrimp, egg, vegetable, octopus, etc. One of my regular readers weighed in on another option that he liked quite a bit and recommended as of equal quality and half the price. On that recommendation, a friend of mine gave it a shot and reported back that the sushi delivered was borderline inedible – not because of lack of fish quality, but because, as she put it, “I have no idea how they did it, but they made everything taste sweet.

I think they changed their website recently since there was also a price increase. I just sent them an email to clarify. I rarely make things up, but in a moment of Malbec-induced stupor, I’ve been accused of worse. I can remember when it was 68 pesos for what they now charge 98 (2 combos #1)!

I certainly don’t object to eye candy, but when it comes with slack service or attitude (my one experience at Dashi) it doesn’t give me much incentive to return. Maybe it was a bad night. My partner & I had grown accustomed to the ginormous portions served by Furusato hence by comparison it seemed a little sparse. Glad to hear Osaka is a good alternative. There’s something decadent about ordering sushi after a hard day to be delivered to your door. I’ll let you know what they say…
